JBJ : "Miracles happen everyday. Change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you."
JBJ : You know what color the seats are in Knoxville, Tennessee ? Orange. How do I know? Because when we played there, no one was in 'em."
JBJ : "Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be."
JBJ : "Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Clause. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don't, who will?"
JBJ : "I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics darling."
JBJ : "You can take that boy out of Jersey, but you just can't take Jersey out of the boy. As long as you want me you got me"
JBJ : "Each one of you has something no one else has, or has ever had: your fingerprints, your brain, your heart. Be an individual. Be unique. Stand out. Make noise. Make someone notice. That's the power of individuals."
JBJ : "All my inspiration comes from between my legs."
JBJ : "Richie's sexlife is on the border of the unreal. He's the Warren Beaty of Rock n' Roll. In a next life I want to come back as Richie."
JBJ : "Anybody who knows me knows that when I decide to do something, it is not up for discussion. I'm going to be there until you give in. If I find something I'm focused on, that's the end of it. I'm like an old pitbull - I just don't let go."
JBJ : "If you wanted to torture me, you'd tie me down and force me to watch our first five videos."
JBJ : "I'm not frightened of failure. I'm frightened of standing still."
JBJ : "Map out your future - but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip."
RS : "I think I'm a very strange dichotomy of a human being. At one end of the spectrum I'm very strong and I'll knock your fuckin' head off; at the other end of it I'm very sensitive, and I worry...I kinda let all these things filter through me and then it becomes music, so... I'm an extremist. But I'm pretty happy. I'm a happy guy, I try to be as happy as possible. You only have a number of days on this planet, so I try to live as well as I possibly can."
RS : "You know who you are in your heart. Don't allow anything or anyone to compromise this."
RS : "Life is fun, a lot of fun if you'd see our bank accounts. But still it's all about one thing: playing. Of the 24 hours, 22 are in service of the 2 hours on the stage. If you have the flu, having a fight with your wife or just so your dog being run over by a truck: the second you walk forward and the kids start screaming, you forget everything and become Superman. No dope can compete with that. It's the ultimate thing."
RS : "I'm talking about giving the people what they want. It's just like, you know, I don't wake up with perfect hair. It takes a certain creativity to get it right. Sometimes that's me, sometimes that's Miguel, my stupendous stylist. It's all part of the package. Knowing who to associate with. Taking from different places and distributing to the masses. Like Robin Hood.
RS : "Jonny has a way nicer ass than me but I've always thought it's what's up front that counts."
RS : "A professional musician must be able to listen, which many people forget. In a band you have to be able to see that others sometimes also have good ideas. You can't play well yourself until the others do too, so discussing things properly is absolutely necessary."
RS : "We play from the soul and the heart. I think we try to communicate with the fans more than a lot of bands do. Our music is communication not masturbation."
RS : "I was 18 when I first heard Steve, Jody, and Bruce Foster putting out a lot of sound for a power trio. Their reputation preceeded them, having collectively played on several hit recordings for other artists. Onstage they seemed anarchic and maybe a little out of their minds - the music version of a bunch of sharks in a feeding frenzy...One week later I was in the band and I realized that their anarchy was somehow organized and their insanity somehow controlled. This was my first band of brothers, first songs I wrote, and first recording sessions." - A propos de ses sessions pour "Shark Frenzy".
RS : "Our power is that we write very visual songs. Who listens to compositions, feels part of it. That's David's influence, that's why he's so good in composing film music."
RS : "Always look for the best in people. Try to see things through the eyes of a child. See the wonder in the simplest things. Never stop dreaming. Believe anything is possible."
RS : "Embrace every challenge you have, every person you meet, every place you visit, every task you succeed at, and especially those at which you fail. You will learn from them all. You'll learn about the world at large and about other people but most important, you'll learn about yourself."
TT : "We love kids, we used to be one."
TT : "Wanted Dead Or Alive is my favorite Bon Jovi song. That song does perfectly describes the true story about the band. I can't listen to the earlier songs nowadays because, well, I think that's something any musician has gone through."
TT : "We've always done what we wanted, and that's really an achievement, our motto."
TT : "You know I must love you Jon, I've been staring at your ass for twenty years."
TT : "Usually; during a gig, I focus on the one guy that doesn't want to be there. The one who came to please a friend or whatever. I start working on him. At the end of the show, if he's dancing and jumping arround like the rest of the crowd, then only I'm satisfied with my performance.
DB : "I felt more passion for the music. I had to follow the dream. You know what? If you have nothing to fall back on, all you have to do is fall forward."
DB : "Piano playing is a dying art. I love the fact that I can be one guy with one instrument evoking an emotional and musical experience."
DB : "I never would want to live in a city like Los Angeles. It's like you're constantly touring over there. You can never be yourself, you always have to play the famous rockstar. In New Jersey the people are much more down to earth."
DB : "A particular sign for Bon Jovi is the keyboardsound. Something that is strange is that when we look at each other during a concert, we know what's going on. Not nervous or anything, just out on stage and play."
DB : "With the Cross Road record, we almost got a chock! Of course we felt for making a best of album, but we daren't hope it would went out so good. It wasn't even our idea, it was the record company that nagged. They told us to either make a live-album, or a best of. we didn't actually like any of it, but the record company got their will. So, we made a best of... in our way."
